New Mac Software Titles Piling Up Since iMac Launch 02/18/99 Newsbytes, Thursday, February 18, 1999 at 14:02 CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1999 FEB 18 (NB) -- By Matt Hines, Newsbytes. In what may be interpreted as a sign that Apple Computer Inc. [NASDAQ:AAPL] is truly regaining momentum in the worldwide personal computer market, over 1,500 new software products have been introduced since the mid-August launch of the iMac. When Apple was predicting that the iMac would help it rebuild market share with end users last summer, many analysts said that the fate of the new machine would lie in the hands of applications developers. But as the iMac has won a place with over 800,000 buyers, it has become clear that the software community is again interested in aggressively supporting the Macintosh platform. Apple officials estimate today that a total of 1,559 new Macintosh software titles have been introduced worldwide since the iMac design debuted on May 6, 1998. And the spread of software products for the Mac environment appears to be a trend worldwide. At the Macworld Tokyo show this week Apple said that some 901 new localized titles had been announced in Japan since the iMac's introduction. The PC vendor used the event to launch its redesigned Power Macintosh G3 machines in Japan, where the iMac has sold very well. Last month, market research group PC Data indicated that the iMac was the number one selling PC through retail channels over the busy holiday season. PC Data also said the iMac has been the number one selling PC since its launch last August 15. Recently introduced titles for the Mac platform include: Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and Illustrator 8.0; AOL 4.0; FileMaker Pro 4.1; Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 and Outlook Express 4.5; Netscape Navigator 4.08 and Communicator 4.5; Palm Desktop 2.1; and Quark Immedia 1.5.
